Abstract
Cancer researchers have considered the treatment with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells will eventually provide durable cures for certain blood cancers. The CAR T cells are unlike regular T cells because these attack a cancer cell immediately after detecting their target. How the CAR T cells attack the target antigen is also discussed.
